reflectives were a big no no from quite a while. as for legality of tints, get it done by somebody and how can police prove you haven't had it on car before law was enforced?

It makes no difference. The new law states that if the police see you have tints in the front window, they can give you a rectification notice to get them removed. Also the bloke who does your MOT's can fail you for having them now . Also quite a few companies will no longer tint the front windows for you, as they will be breaking the law.
